In the morning, Ryan wakes first. He crawls out from under Scott and takes a leak. A few moments after looking at the mirror, he notices dried semen all over his body.
"Oh shit!" he exclaims. His ass feels a little sore from last night.
He runs back to bed to wake up Scott. As soon as Scott opens his eyes, he realizes where Ryan looking at him.
"What happened?" Scott asks groggily.
"We fucked so hard last night, we crashed ourselves to sleep. Look at the dried cum all over us." Ryan laughs.
Scott looks down at his crotch and sees that he has some white stuff stuck to his pubic hair. Then he notices his stomach and chest. He quickly stands up and jumps out of bed.
"Let's hop in the shower then. We need to get cleaned up before we can throw these soiled sheets in the laundry."
They walk to the bathroom and turn on the hot water. Once it warms up, they step inside and wash themselves. They don't talk much while washing each other's bodies. After a few minutes, Scott couldn't resist and starts to cup Ryan's ass cheeks. Ryan turns around and smiles at him.
"Hey, you're not gonna stop now are ya? You wanna play with my ass again?" Ryan says cheekily.
"I'm still a little sore from last night." Ryan adds.
Scott chuckles and rubs more soap onto his hand. He decides to wash Ryan's back instead. He starts massaging the soap between Ryan's shoulders and upper arms. He works his way down until he reaches Ryan's well-defined calves. He spends extra time scrubbing every inch of Ryan's legs thoroughly. Once Scott stands up, Ryan leans down to kiss him as the stream of water from the shower falls down on them. The warm spray helps to relax both men even further.
After rinsing off, Ryan steps away from the wall to grab the towels hanging next to the door. He dries himself first then tosses the towel to Scott. Scott grabs it and starts drying his own body. He glances at Ryan's naked body when he bends down to dry his feet. He admires how toned and fit Ryan's muscles look.
"God damn," Scott murmurs in awe. "I'll never get tired of this sight."
Ryan poses for Scott and flexes his arm. Scott grunts appreciatively. Ryan then grabs Scott by the waist and lifts him off the floor. Scott flails in surprise but Ryan manages to keep them both balanced.
"You know I love your muscular body. But please put me down." Scott pleads.
"Not yet. Just enjoy the ride." Ryan replies.
He carries Scott towards the his bedroom and lays him on the bed. Ryan lies down beside Scott and wraps his strong arms around Scott's torso. Scott snuggles close to Ryan and nuzzles against his neck. Ryan kisses the side of Scott's head and hums contentedly.
"So... did you have fun last night?" Ryan whispers into Scott's ear.
Scott nods. "Yeah. Last night was definitely one of the best nights of my life."
"Good. Because I plan to do many sexy things like that with you in the future." Ryan purrs.
Scott blushes and hugs Ryan tight.
"Okay, that's enough flirting for now. Let's clean my room. It's still the mess we left it earlier." Ryan says.
Both boys crawl out of bed and clean out Ryan's room. They replaced all the sheets, pillowcases, and dirty clothes in the laundry. When everything is done, they decide to take a nap.
***
Deep into Ryan's sleep, he begins having an erotic dream about what transpired last night. In his dream, he imagines being pinned down by Scott as he grinds his cock against Ryan's ass. Both of their bodies slick with sweat and sticky precum. Ryan moans loudly and thrashes underneath Scott as his boyfriend fucks him roughly.
"Fuck! Fuck me harder!" Ryan cries out.
Scott smirks and picks up speed. Ryan screams in pleasure as he rides Scott's dick faster and deeper than ever before. Scott takes hold of Ryan's hips tightly and pounds his hole relentlessly.
"Yes! Yes! Oh god yes!" Ryan shouts.
Out of nowhere, he hears a familiar voice.
"Oh fuck, Ryan. Ride that guy's cock like a champion. Show him just how much of a slut you are."
The person speaking in Ryan's dream is none other than Rachel, his ex-girlfriend. Ryan screams in shock and wakes up immediately. He sits upright in the bed and sees Scott looking at him with worry.
"What's wrong?" Scott asks worriedly.
Ryan tries to calm himself down and looks at Scott.
"It was only a nightmare." Ryan says to himself.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Scott asks concerned.
Ryan sighs deeply.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I was having a great dream until Rachel appeared out of nowhere." He says bleakly.
Scott frowns and pats Ryan's shoulder comfortingly.
"Don't think too hard about her. She doesn't matter anymore. What's important is that we're living our dreams together." Scott reassures Ryan.
Ryan smiles weakly. He knows Scott means well but there's no getting rid of the worry over the tension between his family and Rachel's.
"I haven't asked this because I know it's a sore topic, but what exactly happened between your grandfather and Rachel's grandfather?" Scott inquires curiously.
Ryan furrows his brow.
"That's complicated..." Ryan admits reluctantly.
Scott waits patiently for Ryan to explain. After several long seconds pass, Ryan continues.
"When my father was 18, my grandfather fell ill. At the time, my father was already married to my mother. However, since they are both young and their company was in dire straits at the time, my grandfather asked a business partner for help and bought into the company along with its liabilities." Ryan pauses to collect his thoughts. "Things went smoothly while my grandfather was alive, but when he died, his business partner took over the company and ran it to the ground. It was a rough time for my parents since they were young had no one to turn to."
Ryan's voice grows more somber.
"My grandfather's business partner was Rachel's grandfather. I met Rachel in high school when I was in 11th grade and we started dating then. I only really found out how Rachel was connected to the family tragedy when I introduced him to my parents. I couldn't forget their reaction then. It was as if I've betrayed them myself. My parents haven't talked the Cruzes until then." Ryan continues.
"I really loved Rachel and I don't think the sins of his grandfather are hers so we continued to date in secret. That is until you heard me shouting on the phone during your first few days here here. My parents found out and threatened to pull me out of school if I don't break up with her. Rachel also went behind my back and told my parents about our secret relationship."
Ryan falls silent. The two sit quietly for some minutes. Then Scott speaks up.
"Have you talked to your parents since then?" Scott asks.
"Only when we have to. I'm an only child. They've provided well for me growing up, but I didn't have much of a relationship with them. They were always busy with work. We rarely saw each other even though I lived under the same roof. With the whole Rachel drama, I'm not even sure if the trauma they experienced Rachel's family is worth driving my relationship with them further apart. At this point, I think they'd have a better time accepting I'm dating a man over having a past relationship with Rachel." Ryan answers.
He glances at Scott again.
"You know, I was pretty shocked when you kissed me before, because I thought you were straight." Scott says jokingly.
Ryan laughs.
"I thought I was too, but I really liked you and I learned that you liked me too. Didn't want to pass up the chance." He replies.
Ryan looks at Scott lovingly.
"Thanks for being understanding. I haven't heard from Rachel for months and my parents haven't pressed me about it too. Maybe things will get easier once I graduate." He adds optimistically.
Scott nods in agreement.
"Does your parents know about us?" Scott asks.
Ryan shakes his head.
"Not yet." He replies.
"Remember when I spent Christmas with you last year? My parents were overseas at the time and I was pretty much left to my own devices." Ryan remarks.
"Oh yes, I remember." Scott responds.
"It's not like I am keeping you a secret, but I haven't really talk to them about my personal life. As long as I'm doing well in school and sports, they don't really pay me much mind." Ryan explains.
Scott leans forward and rests his elbows on his knees.
"Well, I'll be honest. Your parents seem to be a bit harsh towards you. Do you think there's a chance that things would improve between you? Or do you think it might just end worse than now?" Scott questions.
Ryan ponders for a moment, looking down into his lap. He thinks deeply about the question.
"We'll see... Only time will tell." He finally concludes.
For the rest of the day, Scott and Ryan spend the time relaxing and talking about their plans for the end of the semester. While Ryan tries to push the thought of the nightmare aside, he's about to be faced with the realization that dreams coming true are not all they chalk it up to be. After all, nightmares are dreams too.
***
The months have flown by and soon enough, the spring semester is coming to a close. Scott's first year in the university has been eventful. He grew a crush on his roommate, who ends up reciprocating his feelings. He also has a good friend in Craig, who is in the same year as him. Scott is looking forward to spending the summer vacation with his parents at Marrow Falls.
Ryan, on the other hand, has not expected the past year to go the way it did. Meeting Scott changed his life in a very good way. He just hopes that things continue to get better from here on out. Aside from the usual check-ins his parents does about school, he hasn't really heard much from them since their fight over his past secret relationship with Rachel. It's almost like they forgot what happened entirely. Perhaps they're still angry at him or maybe they just can't forget what happened between the Smiths and the Cruzes in the past. Whatever the reason may be, Ryan doesn't care anymore. All he cares about right now is making sure that his future remains hopeful and free from any shadows of the past.
It is a matter of happenstance that Scott and Ryan are celebrating their birthdays only weeks apart. Ryan is older by 2 years and 2 weeks, and is turning 21 by the last week of June. The pair talk about their plans for the summer break.
"Hey Ry, where are you planning to spend the break? Have you heard from your parents yet?" Scott asks.
"No, no news so far. I guess I should call them today." Ryan sighs.
"Do you think they'll let you come home for the summer? If not, how about going back to Marrow Falls with me instead?" Scott suggests.
